Ingredients

Lavender Lemonade Cocktail

  • 24 fl oz water
  • 14 fl oz fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 12 fl oz gin
  • 12 fl oz lavender infused simple syrup (recipe follows)

Lavender Infused Simple Syrup (yields ~12 oz)

  • 8 fl oz water
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp dried lavender flowers

Instructions

Lavender Infused Simple Syrup

  • Add sugar and 8 fl oz of water to a small saucepan and bring just to a boil over medium heat. Stir until sugar is dissolved completely. Remove from heat.
  • Once syrup has stopped boiling, add dried lavender, cover, and steep the lavender for 5 minutes. Strain using a fine mesh strainer. (I like to add a layer of cheesecloth in my strainer to catch any really small pieces too.) Set aside to cool.

Lavender Lemonade Cocktail

  • Combine all cocktail ingredients in a large pitcher. Serve over plenty of ice and garnish with fresh lavender and lemon peel.
